The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Czechia, is a remarkable example of a designed landscape crafted by the Liechtenstein family between the 17th and 20th centuries. It features two stunning chateaux—Lednice, with its Neo-Gothic architecture, and Valtice, a Baroque masterpiece—set amidst an English-style park adorned with romantic follies, ponds, and rare tree species. Recognized in 1996, this site blends Baroque, Neoclassical, and Neo-Gothic styles, showcasing a harmonious fusion of architecture and nature. It also reflects South Moravia’s rich wine culture, adding to its historical and cultural significance.
